The Ultimate Core Workout Guide

Posted by Gloria Torres on May 16, 2017

Whether it’s keeping you looking great or helping you maintain your balance, core strength is incredibly important for allowing you to feel your best. Keeping your core in its best shape is easy, especially when you have the right tools in-hand. Enter the URBNFit Core Slider - a simple tool to up your total body and core workout game.

The Core Slider introduces unique movements that require stability and range of motion with added resistance, in a form that is hard to replicate with other workout equipment. Allowing your hands or feet to keep constant contact with the ground/floor, the Core Slider makes for a fun, low-impact exercise that is portable and effective on any surface.

What kinds of workouts can I do with the Core Slider?

At URBNFit, we created this handy workout guide for you. Use the visuals below as inspiration to create your own workout, or tackle this easy-to-follow guide for the ultimate core workout.

Lateral Lunges. These are a great movement on their own, and the Core Slider allows you to add more stability, which ups the challenge and the effectiveness.

Leg Circles. Get warmed up and ready for your workout! This movement also helps improve hip mobility.

Squats. Squats are the king of all exercise and adding in the Core Slider will increase the stability aspect of this body weight movement.

With all of these exercises, you will want to start light and slow with a small range of motion. As you get more comfortable with the movements, you can then begin increasing the number of reps and range of motion. You should never try to “max out” on any of these exercises the first few times around, but instead get your body used to this type of resistance gradually over a few workouts with time and rest to recover in between. Each exercise can be adjusted over time to help you from plateauing and also keep your gains constant.
